Is it me, or are automatically generated translations hilarious? Where else can you read Little Town (the famous Shakespearean tragedy) or learn about "the governer's car" (the political machine).
To celebrate the hilarity, I propose the following game.
Step 1: Select a random passage from your WIP.
Step 2: Paste that paragraph into Google translate
Step 3: Translate it to whatever language strikes your fancy.
Step 4: Copy the translation and paste it into the left-hand box (it should detect the language automatically).
Step 5: Translate to a second random language.
Step 6: Copy that translation into the left-hand box.
Step 7: Translate back into English.
Step 8: Post your results.
The results should look something like this:
Original Text:
They had another battle over tooth-brushing and, just when Fiero thought they were done with the lessons for the night, Shadow urinated in the corner of the living room, prompting a lecture on basic toilet-training. By the time the family meeting began the next day, Shadow was clean, dressed, presentable, and dancing with excitement. Fiero was exhausted.
Translation:
They brush your teeth, there was another battle of the above, Fiero, when promoting the corner of the living room, in a speech in the shadow basic toilet training, believed that they were made in the lessons for the night to have, urination. The next day, presentation, conference wearing beautiful clothes, shadow, was the beginning, and I was dancing with excitement. Fiero was tired.
Have fun!
